Dark Light

what would i do without you?

what would you do without me?

there isn't time without thought

there isn't thought without time

there's no sight without eyes

there's no eyes without sights

there's no angels without demons

there's no demons without angels

there is no purpose without cause

there is no cause without purpose

there is no end without beginning

there is no beginning without end

there can't ever be nothing

without first being something

what would you do without me?

what would i do without you?

I love your choice of music, I'm a big fan of Enya. Your poem Dark light, led me to relationships. I don't know whether that was your intention but that is where I journeyed. The good and bad in them, the light and dark, the beginnings and the endings and all the inbetweens and where they fit in the overall picture within our lives.

Thanks Chris, enya is quite pleasant.

It's not so much about relationships but I can see how that would fit in there. I was thinking more along the lines of, you can't have a positive without a negative and vice versa because they define each other. Without one or the other somewhere in your life it all becomes flavorless and stake less; kinda like how that whole "everybody gets a trophy" mantra makes every trophy meaningless in reality. Of course, it's always better to have significantly more more positive than negative things going on in your life... bad things don't stop sucking just because they're necessary. Don't forget to eat your vegetables.

I like your play on words mixing positive and negative images. What is love if not accepting all of one another.
